It slightly changes the injection timing on the pump to earlier to help with starting from cold

Depending on engine type they don't change the engine note much (some car engines rase idle with it) but it will make cold starting better if timeing is right.
One things for sure, its definately not a "choke" - diesels don't need such throttleing rubish!
